Tomatillo Salsa Recipe | Daisy Martinez | Food Network image

This is a standard Mexican salsa that you find everywhere in Mexico. Tomatillos have a natural acidic and fresh note that gives them a little sparkle. (They keep that sparkle even after they're cooked.) Tomatillo salsa is a natural with the flavors of grilled meat, but it is a great do-ahead, have-on-hand salsa to freshen up anything off the grill or out of a skillet.

Prep Time 15 minutes

Cook Time 25 minutes

Yield about 4 cups

Number Of Ingredients 7

Ingredients

1 pound fresh tomatillos
1 large Spanish onion (about 12 ounces), cut into large chunks (about 3 cups)
3 cloves garlic
1/2 packed cup coarsely chopped cilantro leaves
1/2 jalapeno (seeds and all if you like heat)
1/2 lime, juiced
Kosher or fine sea salt

Steps:

Pull the husks from the tomatillos and wash them under cool water until they no longer feel sticky. Cut them into quarters and put them into the work bowl of a food processor. Add the onion and garlic and process until smooth. Add the cilantro, jalapeno and lime juice and process until the jalapeno is finely chopped.
Scrape the mixture into a small saucepan. Season lightly with salt and bring to a boil over medium heat. Cook, stirring occasionally, until most of the liquid is boiled off and the salsa looks relish-y, about 15 minutes. Cool before using. The sauce can be refrigerated for up to 1 week. If refrigerated, you may want to add a little salt and/or lime juice to the salsa before serving.

SOPA DE ALBóNDIGAS (MEXICAN MEATBALL SOUP) - NYT COOKING

Sopa de Albóndigas (Mexican Meatball Soup) - NYT Cooking image

Ask 10 people for a recipe for a particular dish, and you’ll probably get 10 different recipes. Mexican sopa de albóndigas is no exception. Most variations are likely to involve vegetables, rice, a tomato-based broth and, inevitably, meatballs. Wesley Avila, the chef of Guerrilla Tacos in Los Angeles, learned this recipe from his mother, who learned it from her grandmother. His meatballs are hefty in size but light in density, and follow his family’s tradition of adding uncooked white rice to the pork-beef mixture before shaping it into balls and cooking: “My mom always told me that when the rice is done, the soup is ready,” Mr. Avila said. “She used it almost as a timer.” The toppings — piled on as you would atop chili — skew cheffy, but they are entirely optional.

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 26

Ingredients

2 pounds ground beef
1 pound ground pork
1/2 cup uncooked long-grain rice
1/3 cup chopped fresh mint
3 garlic cloves, minced
1 tablespoon kosher salt
1 1/2 teaspoons black pepper
2 tablespoons olive oil or vegetable oil
1 medium yellow onion, peeled and diced (about 1 1/2 cups)
4 medium carrots, peeled and cut on an angle into 1/2-inch slices
3 medium celery stalks, peeled and cut on an angle into 1/2-inch slices
1 large red potato, cut into 1-inch cubes
Kosher salt and black pepper
3 tablespoons tomato paste
3 garlic cloves, minced
2 bay leaves
2 teaspoons dried oregano, preferably Mexican
2 teaspoons ground cumin
8 cups chicken stock (2 quarts)
1 (8-ounce) can tomato sauce
Crumbled queso fresco, panela or cotija
2 avocados, halved lengthwise, pitted and thinly sliced crosswise or diced
Mini sweet peppers, thinly sliced into rounds
Serrano and habanero chiles, very thinly sliced
Small fresh cilantro sprigs or chopped fresh cilantro
Lime wedges, for squeezing

Steps:

Prepare the meatballs: In a large bowl, combine the beef, pork, rice, mint, garlic, salt and pepper. Using your hands, gently mix until well combined. Pinch off 2-ounce portions and gently roll between your palms to form golf ball-size rounds, transferring rounds to a sheet pan. (You should have about 28 meatballs.)
In large pot, combine the olive oil, onion, carrots, celery and potato; season with salt and pepper. Cook over medium-high, stirring occasionally, until slightly softened, about 5 minutes. Add the tomato paste, garlic, bay leaves, oregano and cumin, and cook over medium, stirring frequently, until fragrant and tomato paste starts to caramelize, about 3 minutes. Add the chicken stock and tomato sauce and bring to a simmer over high.
Once the stock begins to bubble, reduce the heat to medium-low. Carefully add the meatballs, one by one, distributing them evenly in the pot until they’re all submerged. If necessary, reduce the heat to reach a low simmer (this will keep the meatballs tender), and cook until the meatballs and rice are cooked through, about 40 minutes. (Resist the urge to stir for the first 20 minutes, otherwise you risk breaking the meatballs apart before they’ve firmed up.) Skim any impurities from the surface as the soup simmers.
Season to taste with salt. Divide the soup among bowls, about four or five meatballs per portion, and set out bowls of whatever garnishes you like.

TACOS DE CARNITAS RECIPE - NYT COOKING

I don’t know of a better way to turn 3 pounds of pork shoulder into dinner. Or a dinner party. Carnitas can be simply rolled into a corn tortilla, or used as the basis for something more ambitious, like tamales or empanadas. The trick here is patience, especially when the liquid is almost boiled out and the meat begins to fry a bit in its own fat.
